With unusually consistent showers over recent months, club volunteers really laboured to keep the course trimmed and the tracks clear for the event. The trails were certainly in prime condition on the day and the success of the event is a huge tribute to their efforts. Continue reading “2018 CQ XC Series big season opener”

Gladstone MTB Park user's. The tree on Twinn has been removed and as you can see there is a lot of water laying about after the rain we have had. With more rain forecast we will need a few days of sunshine before everything is packed hard again. ... See MoreSee Less

Spontaneous Adventure Social Ride @ Yeppoon TODAY 4.45pm ~ Meetup point is outside Galaxy Chinese in Hill Street. It's a two-part ride. First we'll check out the hand-built XC tracks off the side of the Pineapple Rail Trail. We'll be back by about 6-630. If you want to do the next part, you will need lights for. We'll then head down to the lagoon (via the mangrove trail if it still exists) and go down the ramp onto the beach, then ride up the sand to Bangalee and return. If the tide is still a bit high, we'll enter the beach at the Bluff instead. The tide will be outgoing so the beach should be hard enough for a normal MTB. We should be back about 8-830 in time to grab a feed at Galaxy. See you there! ~ Andrew T ... See MoreSee Less

While everyone is no doubt itching to hit the trails this weekend, please bear in mind there's still a lot of smoke about all the way from Bundy to Mackay. You'll be gulping in huge breaths of that while you're out there. Local health authorities are warning against outdoor exercise until the smoke clears due to the high risk of micro particles getting caught in your lungs. Might be a good weekend for the wind-trainer or gym instead. ~ Andrew T ... See MoreSee Less

Some of you may have heard that Matthew Hill has been involved in a simple bike accident and has been left in a serious condition with major head injuries. Matt is in Brisbane in an induced coma while swelling on his brain subsides.

Plenty of you will know Matt from around the trails and his easy going and friendly nature. If you can help out with a small donation we are hoping to raise some money to help Matt and his family meet the cost of travel and treatment.
